Everyone deplores narcissism, especially in others. The vain are by turns annoying or absurd, offending us whether they are blissfully oblivious or proudly aware of their behavior. But are narcissism and vanity really as bad as they seem? Can we avoid them even if we try? In Mirror, Mirror, Simon Blackburn, the author of such best-selling philosophy books as Think, Being Good, and Lust, says that narcissism, vanity, pride, and self-esteem are more complex than they first appear and have innumerable good and bad forms. Drawing on philosophy, psychology, literature, history, and popular culture, Blackburn offers an enlightening and entertaining exploration of self-love, from the myth of Narcissus and the Christian story of the Fall to today's self-esteem industry.
A sparkling mixture of learning, humor, and style, Mirror, Mirror examines what great thinkers have said about self-love--from Aristotle, Cicero, and Erasmus to Rousseau, Adam Smith, Kant, and Iris Murdoch. It considers today's "me"-related obsessions, such as the "selfie," plastic surgery, and cosmetic enhancements, and reflects on connected phenomena such as the fatal commodification of social life and the tragic overconfidence of George W. Bush and Tony Blair. Ultimately, Mirror, Mirror shows why self-regard is a necessary and healthy part of life. But it also suggests that we have lost the ability to distinguish--let alone strike a balance--between good and bad forms of self-concern.
Simon Blackburn is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Cambridge. He was Edna J. Doury Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at the University of North Carolina, and from 1969 to 1990 was a Fellow and Tutor at Pembroke College, Oxford. He is the author of The Oxford Dictionary of Philosophy and the best-selling Think and Being Good, among other books.
第一次看到《你就要很独特》就书名我以为这是一本人生鸡汤,但是当你开始阅读便会发现原来并非如此。说句实话,《你就要很独特》对于我来说并不是一本通俗心理学读物,并且还有些许无聊。但是当我开始做读书笔记和摘抄的时候却发现自己马克了很多段落。 全书运用了大量古今哲学...
評分这本书的封面很是喜欢,排版不错,颜色搭配不错,而内页的排版也挺好,上下左右边距不浪费,每页都有章节提示,书着书能参考着章节重点。 这本书在导言中就讲到了“自我”的精髓,其实,自我不等于自大,自夸等,真正的自我,是能够清楚的认识到自己。现在很多人读《圣经》,可...
評分1. 这本书的名字虽然起的很像畅销小说,但读完之后发现它其实挺正经的,甚至有点读教科书的感觉。前半本书的内容可以读一下,到后半部分有太多关于宗教的东西,读不太出所以然来。 我以为这本书会教人要保持自我,但它是在教人警惕对他人他事漠不关心的自我,作者称其为自大。...
評分 評分本书作者是英语哲学家、学者、评论家,西蒙•克莱克本。曾被美国教育界评为“全球50位健在殿堂级哲学家TOP3”。作者指出,一方面过度的关注自我是有害的,如道德哲学家们对自我的差评,另一方面,没有自我意识又是恐怖的,如不知道自己是谁,艺术家会失去自己的个性。正如作...
